How to Install Valorant on Ubuntu
Sadly, because Valorant is a Windows-exclusive, it's not natively supported on Ubuntu. But fear not! You can still play it by using Wine or a compatibility layer like Lutris. First, you'll need to install Wine on your Ubuntu system. Then, download Lutris and use it to install Windows Steam. Through Steam, you can then download and install Valorant. Be prepared for some tweaking to get it working perfectly though!

Direct install? Nope, it's not happening since Valorant exclusively loves Windows. But with some tinkering, Wine or a platform like PlayOnLinux could be your ticket in. Not the smoothest ride into the game, but where there's a will, there's a way, right?
Just get a Windows machine, honestly. Trying to make Valorant run on Ubuntu is more hassle than it's worth. The game's anti-cheat system doesn't play nice with Wine or any other compatibility layers.
I've been playing Valorant on my Ubuntu setup using Lutris and it's been a blast! Sure, setting it up was a bit of a challenge, but totally worth it. Follow the steps for installing Wine, then Lutris, and search for Valorant within the Lutris app. It guides you through the rest. Happy gaming!
